        Telling You About the Blues, in Texas, Atlanta and Detroit

        By John Morthland, eMusic Contributor

        Let me tell you about Let Me Tell You About the Blues, a series of three-disc packages (several of which are available on eMusic) that attempts to trace the evolution of the music by focusing on geographic areas.
